Ekblad logged his first goal of the season in a 6-2 win over host Dallas on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Did you hear that collective sigh from Ekblad owners across the land? That snaps a three-game point scoring drought for the 19-year-old. Ekblad's laser, one of four shots on the night, chased Dallas' starting goaltender Kari Lehtonen early in the second period. Although the former first overall pick (2014) has just three points, Ekblad had just two points through his first eight games in last season. Hang tight, the young blue liner and his upstart Panthers are just getting started.
